Getting chat requests

[u/Dangerous_One_9597]

I recently made a post and soon after got chat requests out of nowhere. One was asking how am I and how old I was, and the other was more inappropriate. I chose not to accept the requests and just move on.

It seems this is a recurring issue within this subreddit. I feel a bit angry, but also sad. I'm angry because of how predatory it is to target specifically people in this subreddit. I'm also sad because it sort of reminds me of my own past creepy behavior. I kind of feel like I deserve it and don't deserve to have an issue with it

I hear what you are saying, not that I get DMs from here that often. I have DMed others with offers of help and some have not been taken well, so I am stopping doing it. I really do want to help and have a couple of good conversations, but a couple of no so good ones where I felt I must have come off wrong which wasnt my intent.
I dont want to make things worse for someone, and its difficult to properly convey this over DMs. Some people have been thru the wringer, and react like it, which is understandable.
It hard to sift thru the good and no so good online, and esp in a subreddit this this one. I struggle with my own High sex drive/borderline HS at times, and have talked it out with both men and women and when it clicks, its nice.

Thank you for your response. I do have difficulty engaging in conversation with new people, so I tend to shy away from things.

TBH I dont blame you, esp if you have been a target for a while, hard to unlearn that behavior, you are always looking for the other shoe to drop. I have been approached a lot about age gap on Reddit, got stung a lot so I know just a little bit about how you feel, but cant fully comprehend the extent.
